Man Utd chief Roche insists both Old Trafford options on table

Manchester United have stepped up work on their plans for a revamped stadium.

United are keen to either step up the level of amenities and the capacity of Old Trafford.

Another option that is available to them is to build a new stadium nearby the current ground.

Chief operating officer Collette Roche said recently: “The first option is to redevelop the current stadium, which would; focus primarily on building a new world-class South Stand, as well as refurbishment of the other three stands."

She added: “The alternative would be to build a new stadium on our footprint, which could significantly increase capacity, and deliver a world-leading stadium and experience for fans, the team, and other stakeholders."

United new investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS group are very keen to set up the club for long term success.
